Has anyone been able to get Americas Army working on a computer running Os X? I see that the Mac package is a PowerPC application that cannot be ran under the newest incarnation of Os X.

I have the latest version of VirtualBox (4.2.6) installed and I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 with all of the latest updates. I installed AA25 Assist and everything on the "SITREP" tab is green and I have 3D acceleration on the VirtualBox settings turned on. When I run AA25 Assist, I get the splash screen, then nothing happens, the splash screen will appear for over an hour and I have to go into the task manager and kill the ArmyOps.exe process. I was able to find the log file and it appears to not have been modified, showing 0kb in size.

I have since given up on windows, since I have never really liked it to begin with. I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and completed the install of AA25 Assist and I seem to get a little further, everything is green on the "SITREP" tab and when I click to Deploy, I get the the splash screen, then another window opens for a fraction of a second, then disappears. This one I was able to get into the log file and two things I noticed is that 1: One of the lines says "Log: Couldn't open cdkey file."
And 2: The last section of my logfile:

If someone could point me in the right direction to resolve this, I would be most appreciative! I will be trying an older version of Ubuntu to see if there is any change.

Thank you,
